South America- A Unique Observation

As I travel the world I am commonly confronted with various cultural differences. Some are funny, some are annoying, some are strangely interesting. Yet all these differences that I encounter in my travel are generally chalked up to simple differences that account for nothing that is more right or more wrong than anything else you or I would do. Yet, and I say, yet, there are things that are so uncommon, so ridiculous and so off-the-wall, that no borders can confine the hilarity of said cultural difference. Here is one such example.

























Yes, to the left of that good looking lady, is a man with a snowlerblade backpack. This gentlemen is so innately attached to his fruit-boots that he purchased a custom crafted pack to tote his ski-blades around all day. Where he bought them and who the hell makes them? I don't know. But I would like to meet these fabricators and distributors and congratulate them for their sheer dedication to a dead sport. The craziest thing is that this guy brings his snowlerblades around all day in such a way that at any fleeting moment he can switch up his snowsliding set-up. Powder. "Mmm, I think I'll go with the skis." Sweet mogul run. "Yeah, definitely going with the fruit-boots." He doesn't mind the weight, he just wants the freedom to shred anything and everything in the fruitiest way he can imagine. Yes, good sir, shred on.

Oh and this wasn't the only snowlerblade-pack we saw. I think they're really gonna take off down here.
